Jack was born in August 2007, shortly after Brady and his ex-girlfriendBridget Moynahansplit in 2006. His full name is John Edward Thomas Moynahan.
The former New England Patriots player was already dating supermodelGisele Bündchen, and he admitted toHoward Sternin 2020 thatMoynahan's pregnancy was a shock.
"Next thing you know, I found out that Bridget was pregnant with our son," he said. "So that was a very unique time … and it challenged me in a lot of ways, again, to grow up in a different way. It was very hard for my wife to think she fell in love with this guy, and then now this guy's ex-girlfriend's pregnant."
"And it was very challenging for my son's mom, you know, because she didn't envision that either," he added.
Before their 2022 divorce, Brady and Bündchen welcomed sonBenjamin Rein, 15, and daughterVivian Lake, 12.
As Jack grew, he showed an interest in following in his father's footsteps on the field. When he was just 13 years old, Brady said Jack already had his first league job as aball boy for the Buccaneers.

His mother later said the teen was exploring other sports as well.
"I think right now he wants to be a professional soccer player," the formerBlue Bloodsstar, 54, said onLive with Kellyin 2017. "Though after the Olympics, he's like, 'I think I'm going to win a gold in swimming.' Then it wasMichael Phelps. So I think he just likes awards."
Brady echoed her sentiments the following year.

"I think [the kids are] into watching [football] because of their dad, but … My oldest son Jack really loves soccer. Hewants to be an Olympics soccer goalie," Brady told PEOPLE.
No matter what he chooses, his parents have shown their support.
"I really think that he's kind of like that normal kid who doesn't really know what he wants to do yet and I think that's okay," Moynahan said during a June 2023 appearance onLive with Kelly and Mark. "I certainlydon't want to put any pressure on himto do what I do or what his father does."
